Lidstrom Leads Detroit in 7-3 Rout

Nicklas Lidstrom had a goal and two assists to lead Detroit’s four-goal second period and matched a career high with four points overall in the Red Wings’ 7-3 rout of the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday night in Glendale, Ariz.

Lidstrom had a chance for a second goal when he was awarded a penalty shot -- the first of his 15-year NHL career -- with 7:04 to go. He was hooked from behind by Dave Scatchard while the Coyotes were on a 5-on-3 power play. His short wrist shot on the attempt was kicked aside easily by reserve goalie Phillipe Sauve.

“He’s not going into any shootouts now,” Red Wing Coach Mike Babcock said.
